Thanks Steve!
It's good to have some opinions based on careful field use. I've been happy
with the Zuiko 1.4x but have always wondered if the Tamron TCs might have
some advantage under some conditions. Whenever I read Gary Reese's test
results it makes me have doubts about using any TC in any but the most
optimal combinations. I've had good results with the Zuiko 1.4x on my Tamron
400 and it seemed to work well for the few pictures I used it with my Tamron
180. Your experience with the Tamron TC really confirms taking the Zuiko
along is the best choice. Thanks again.
